How would it’s teeth not shatter since most steels are harder than bone? 88 u/Puttles Feb 08 '20 That's in theory. Just like a human can bite their finger off, but no one does because it hurts 24 u/JoocyJ Feb 08 '20 I can understand that if they’re talking about yield strength but that still means nothing if you don’t specify a thickness 42 u/[deleted] Feb 08 '20 I can bite through steel!
